Basically this article spoke about how we are not doing our best to get what we can out of the earth. We are not being efficient enough and we our thoughts of running out of oil, or hitting peak oil is well overexaggerated. In reading this article it didn't make me any more pleased with the situation that we are currently in involving our crude oil. This was supposed to make people feel better that developing new technologies would allow us to tap into resources that we never really understood existed before.
This still doesn't help our reliance on crude oil or say that we are looking at reducing our use of it in the near or far future. In fact, we are just looking at spending more and using more in the future. So I guess I should be at ease knowing that we should not run out of oil by the end of the 21st century. Well that has never really been what I have worried about. How we use it and the ammount we use has always been what has bothered me so this doesn't put me to ease whatsoever. This is just worse, knowing that we can burn through more oil until the end of the 21st century, that is if there is still a humanity to burn through it!
